Forum Home Enhancements - Split Useronline on Forumhome

Description
Splits the User Online section on the Forum Home to allow for staff/team members and users to be split into separate groups. This is the latest version of my previous mod and is now compatible with 4.0.x. My 3.7.x version was itself a new version of Surviver's original modification which was made for vBulletin 3.6.4.

My 3.7.x version of the modification can be found here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1537920


The rjs_split_online_40_vb4.1.2.zip download is only compatible with vBulletin 4.1.2 and above.

However if you are still using 4.0.x up-to 4.1.1 then please use the original download: rjs_split_online_40_pre4.1.2.zip



Features

• Currently allows for five different types of extra users (Admins, Staff, Premium, VIP, Donators) on top of the usual members (for those not assigned to any of the other groups).
• This is controlled through the usergroup manager whereby you can select Yes or No for each of the five types of users.
• This works off a user's display usergroup for which section/s they will appear in on the online listing.
• The titles for the six groupings (5 plus members) can now be managed inside the Vbulletin Options inside the Split Useronline section.
• Compatibility with User Legend Hacks (providing their Execution order is set to 2 or more)
• You can use HTML markup to change the colours of the titles. e.g
  

  <style="color:red;">Staff</span>

• The default additional spacing between the groups is now optional. This is managed in the VBulletin Options alongside the other settings above.
• There are no manual template edits any more.

Installation

1. Upload all necessary files to their respective directories. Overwrite files where prompted.
2. Install the product XML file. Be sure to Allow Overwrite.
3. Check that Split Useronline tool is turned on: vBulletin Options -> Split Useronline -> Activate: Yes
4. Decide whether you want to use the additional spacing between Groups.
   
5. If you are using a 4.0.x version prior to 4.0.6 then you will need to make the below template change:
   
   Style Manager -> Expand the "CSS Templates" Group -> Customize "split_online.css"
   
   And then change the following:
   

   #wgo_onlineusers .commalist li.nocomma:after {content: "";}
   #wgo_onlineusers .commalist li.br {display:block;}

   To (i.e. remove "#wgo_onlineusers "):
   

   .commalist li.nocomma:after {content: "";}
   .commalist li.br {display:block;}

   After you do upgrade to 4.0.6 just revert the above template and all will be fine.
   
6. Set relevant permissions for each usergroup.

Upgrading from 2.0.0 (was made for vBulletin 3.7.x)
Do not uninstall the old version of this mod before installing. Upgrading from my 3.7.x version of this modification should be painless. It will auto remove the previous version (if you have it installed). As detailed above I've switched from using phrases to vbulletin options to define the titles for the groupings. This was done due to user feedback from the last release. The groups each have a default title in place however they can easily be changed to your own preference.

Upgrading from 1.0.3 (was made for vBulletin 3.6.4)
Unfortunately anyone wishing to upgrade from Survivor's original modification will be unable to. You will need to uninstall this product at your own convenience. The usergroup assignments are also managed through the usergroup permissions screen rather than the vBulletin settings.

Changelog
2.5.0 - 4.0.x compatible release.
2.5.1 - Fixing issue with friend icons/invisible icons not appearing.
2.5.2 - Changed order of groups and made the extra spacing optional.
2.5.4 - Added an Automated CSS Template instead of manual template edits.
2.5.5 - Resolved compatibility issues with latest VBulletin. vBulletin 4.1.2 and above only

Author Notes
The main priority was simply to get a 4.0.x compatible version released but at the same time I did try to listen to user feedback and thus increased the number of groupings to five. In addition to this I also changed how the group titles are defined in an attempt to make this more accessible.

Credit for the original version of the modification still goes to Surviver.

Also the credit for the ilog function and the product un-installation process found within the installation code goes to Paul M.

That would work as well lol.

Well, I had that done (I've now updated to your newest version)... I'm curious how to remove just the last comma in each line:

How to make this work in CMPS?

EDIT:

Hmm, what I was just suggesting wouldn't work lol. Not really got a simple fix that could do it. I was going to suggest using the trim function on it but that wouldn't work. Not how I was thinking anyway.

If it's going to be done it would need to be within the Display plugin (i.e. once the variables have been fully populated). I was thinking of using the trim function to remove the trailing , but it'll be ending more like this: ,</li> but removing that and re-adding the li back in might be a bit messy.

@ Pedro: I've never used VB Advanced (that's what your talking about yea?) so I don't know how that works.

Yes it was. That's a pity
It would be great to make this work in VBA

Indeed it would, im using vb advanced CMPS on VB 4.0.6.
I have the CMS also, but disabled it, I think it aint that great...

This is the PHP code for the usersonline for the VB Advanced module: (maybe you can see what to change)

PHP Code:

<div class="blocksubhead">{vb:rawphrase x_members_and_y_guests, {vb:raw numberregistered}, {vb:raw numberguest}}</div>
<div class="blockrow vba_spacer">
    <vb:if condition="$activeusers">
        <ol class="commalist">{vb:raw activeusers}</ol>
    <vb:else />
        {vb:rawphrase no_x_online, {vb:rawphrase members}}
    </vb:if>
</div>
<div class="blockrow">{vb:rawphrase most_users_ever_online_was_x_y_at_z, {vb:raw recordusers}, {vb:raw recorddate}, {vb:raw recordtime}}</div> 


[consolegaming]

Well that's actually the template code, mostly html with vb's own variable system built into it. The actual PHP code is held within the plugins. My plugin alters the activeusers variable which is still being used there as you can see but my pkugin code is not getting executed.

Which to me suggests that the Plugin Hooks that have been used for my Product aren't being implemented here in their code. I did try installing it and taking a bit of a look around. But I didn't really get anywhere and disliked the cmps system lol.

EDIT: I think to get any further with CMPS usage I'd need to get all the vB files on my pc and search for where the plugin hooks (the ones I use) are defined and try and work out why they're not being used in the cmps files. Not doing that today though lol.

The code i also know. But it's not that simple. It needs to be hard coded

[Taurus1]

This is great. Thanks. But I have the following problems. Everything is in one line, and also those extra commas don't look good. Please help.
